Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win With Vortex Venom Red Dot

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot represents a purpose-built evolution of the classic M14 platform, optimized for close-quarters precision and rapid target acquisition. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this compact carbine delivers the stopping power and ballistic performance demanded by tactical shooters and defensive operators. Factory-configured with a Vortex Venom red dot sight, this package eliminates the guesswork of optic selection, providing a low-profile, wide-field-of-view solution for high-speed engagements. The SOCOM 16 CQB variant is engineered for maneuverability without sacrificing the reliability that has defined the M1A lineage for decades.

Overview

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 CQB 308 Win with Vortex Venom Red Dot is a gas-operated, semi-automatic rifle built on a forged steel receiver. The 16.25-inch barrel with a 1:11 twist rate is optimized for .308 Winchester ammunition, balancing velocity retention with overall length reduction. The CQB configuration includes a full-length Picatinny rail on the top handguard, a proprietary muzzle brake for recoil management, and a compact synthetic stock designed for rapid shouldering. The included Vortex Venom red dot sight is mounted directly to the receiver rail, offering a 3 MOA dot for precise shot placement at close to intermediate ranges.
